God's Daughter, Queen of Miraculous Medicine

After returning to the camp, Jun Moyuan ordered his men to keep Nurgu under strict surveillance.

Lu Tianhao followed behind Jun Moyuan and asked in confusion: "Your Highness, if you keep this Nurgu, aren't you afraid that he will cause trouble again in the future?"

Jun Moyuan said with a firm look: "He is an important general of Liang State. It is more useful to keep him than to kill him."

Jun Moyuan sat quietly alone in the tent. He frowned slightly, staring at the map in front of him with his deep eyes, secretly pondering his next plan of action.

At this moment, a soldier came hurriedly and knelt on one knee to report: "Your Highness, Nurgu is clamoring to see you."

Upon hearing this, Jun Moyuan slowly raised his head, moved his eyes away from the map, then stood up and walked towards the tent where Nurgu was imprisoned.

When Jun Moyuan stepped into the tent, Nurgu was tied to a wooden stake. His face was full of anger, his eyes were wide open, staring at Jun Moyuan who walked in.

Seeing Jun Moyuan appear, Nurgu immediately roared: "What do you want? Kill me if you can!"

Facing Nurgu's angry roar, Jun Moyuan seemed unusually calm.

He walked up to Nurgu, looked down at him, and said calmly: "What I want is not your life, but the submission of Liang State, and the people of both countries can live a peaceful and tranquil life."

Hearing Jun Moyuan's words, Nurgu couldn't help but sneer and said sarcastically: "Humph, just you? Don't be so wishful! We Liang Kingdom will never bow down to you so easily!"

Jun Moyuan raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a barely perceptible smile. He looked at Nurgu and responded firmly, "Really? Then let's wait and see who will have the last laugh."

After saying that, he turned and left the tent, leaving Nurgu alone there to continue roaring and cursing.

Liangguo Military Camp

Halsev and Chahar hurried back to the Liang army camp with the remaining soldiers.

Chahar said anxiously, "What should we do? If the emperor blames us, we can't afford it."

Halsev frowned and said, "Now that things have come to this, I can only report the truth. I believe the emperor will make the decision."

Halsev continued, "Hurry up and send a letter to the emperor, telling him that General Nurgu has been captured. Now they hold the eldest prince and General Nurgu in their hands. Whether to fight or make peace is up to the emperor to decide."

After the letter was sent, an atmosphere of anxiety and uneasiness permeated the military camp.

Halsef paced back and forth in the tent, with a lot of thoughts in his mind.

Chahar said, "Sir, what do you think the emperor will decide?"

Halsev stopped and said worriedly, "It's hard to predict. The emperor might weigh the pros and cons, considering the current situation of the country and the safety of the people, but he might also choose to fight for dignity and honor."

In the following days, Jun Moyuan reorganized his army while waiting for Liang State's response.

On the other hand, when the Liang State learned that Nurgu had been captured, the whole court was in chaos.

"This Nurgu is usually arrogant and domineering, but now he has made such a big mistake!" The emperor angrily slammed the dragon throne.

The ministers stood by in silence, not daring to say a word.

After a while, an old minister stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the most urgent thing is to decide whether to fight or make peace."

A general stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I think we should send troops to attack the State of Chu, rescue the eldest prince and General Nurgu, and boost our country's prestige!"

But a civil official shook his head and objected: "Your Majesty, don't be impulsive. If we send troops at this time, the outcome is unpredictable, and war will cost the people money and resources. It is better to seek peace first and make long-term plans."

The emperor fell into deep thought, weighing the pros and cons in his mind.

Some people advocated sending troops to rescue, while others believed that peace should be sought first.

If a war breaks out, Liang State has just experienced a melee and its troops have been damaged, so it may not have a chance of winning.

But if we choose to negotiate peace, we might lose our national dignity! This is really a dilemma.

After careful consideration, the emperor finally spoke: "I have carefully prepared for so long and invested a lot of manpower and material resources. Isn't it to force Chu to cede land and pay compensation? Therefore, the war must continue!"

At this time, the prime minister was in a dilemma and hurriedly advised: "Your Majesty, the eldest prince and General Nurgu are still in the hands of the enemy. If the battle continues, I am afraid their lives will be in danger!"

The Minister of War at the side bowed and saluted, saying in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, if we can win this time, even if the eldest prince and General Nurgu die, they will die for the country!"

The second prince Hu Yanji, who had been silent all this time, stood up at this moment. He advised the emperor with a worried look on his face: "Father, I think that starting a war again will only make the people suffer and waste a lot of financial and material resources. It is really not a wise move!"

However, the emperor had made up his mind. He waved his hand and shouted, "Stop talking!"

Seeing this, the second prince Hu Yanji knew that he could not change his father's mind, so he knelt down and said, "Father, since you insist on fighting again, I am willing to lead the army to the front line!"

The emperor nodded slightly and asked, "How many troops can be mobilized at the moment?"

The Minister of War quickly replied: "Your Majesty, we can still mobilize 300,000 troops."

After thinking for a while, the emperor decisively ordered: "Pass the order down, immediately recruit 200,000 able-bodied men from the people to join the army and quickly send them to the border to reinforce."

The Prime Minister was horrified upon hearing this and quickly tried to dissuade him, "Your Majesty, you must not do this! These newly recruited soldiers have not received rigorous training and have no combat experience at all. Going into battle to kill the enemy would be tantamount to sending them to die in vain, and would only increase casualties!"

But the emperor was unmoved and said in a deep voice: "No need to say more, gather the people first!"

The second prince looked worried and frowned as he asked, "What about my eldest brother and Nurgu?"

Upon hearing this, the emperor's face darkened and he shouted angrily, "What a bunch of useless guys! They were captured so easily by the State of Chu. It's a disgrace to me!" He was so angry that his beard trembled slightly and his eyes flashed with anger.

Then, the emperor gave a command in a dignified manner: "Hu Yanji, I order you to lead the army to the border immediately. You must teach me a lesson and vent your anger on the Chu State!"

The second prince immediately bowed and replied respectfully, "Don't worry, father. I will follow your orders and prepare for the expedition immediately."

The emperor took a deep breath, calmed down a little, and then instructed the eunuch beside him: "Quickly send a message to Halsev, and ask him to go and find out what the Chu Kingdom has to say, and see what can be done to release the eldest prince and General Nurgu. Well, let's stop here for today, let's adjourn!"

As the emperor finished speaking, all the ministers bowed and slowly left the court.

While waiting for the emperor's decision, the atmosphere in the Liang military camp became increasingly solemn.

Halsev and Chahar discussed various possible situations and countermeasures every day.

On the Chu side, Jun Moyuan was also closely watching the movements of the Liang army camp in case they launched a sudden attack.

Lu Tianhao said to Jun Moyuan, "Your Highness, in my opinion, Liang State may not dare to start a war easily. Now that they have two important figures in our hands, they should be cautious."

Jun Moyuan nodded slightly, expressing his agreement, "That's true. We must not take it lightly! The Emperor of Liang has always been deep-minded and difficult to guess. We must prepare a comprehensive and complete response plan."

Mu Yanyu on the side immediately said: "General Wen once mentioned this matter. According to him, the emperor of Liang is an ambitious man. I am afraid he may not be willing to accept the peace talks. It is very likely that he will go to war again."

At this time, the impatient General Zhao slammed the table and shouted loudly: "Humph! If they dare to attack again, I will make sure they never return! I don't believe that I can't deal with these ignorant guys!"

His face was full of anger and his armor clanged, showing his incomparable might.
